âW -What did you say?! The head of Yangcheng?!â
Zhao Zirui was shocked and almost jumped up from the sofa.
âWho do you think I called?â
âImpossible!â Zhao Zirui said righteously.
âYouâre just a small boss. How could you know him?!â âIf you donât believe me, Iâll get him to personally prove it to you.â Lin Yi took his hand away and said to Wu Zhaoyou, âSomeone is questioning your identity. Prove yourself to him.â âIâm Wu Zhaoyou. Whoâs questioning my identity?â
Hearing Wu Zhaoyouâs words, Zhao Zirui was dumbfounded.
As he had previously visited the place for inspection, he recognized the name.
Especially his voice and tone. They were exactly the same.
Most importantly, if he wasnât a superior, he wouldnât be so confident in his words!
âI-Iâm Zhao Zirui from the tax bureau. Helloâ¦â
At this moment, Zhao Zirui was so scared that he stuttered.
âOkay, I will remember you.â
With that, Wu Zhaoyou changed the topic and said to Lin Yi, âItâs settled. Just call me in advance.â
âThank you so much.â
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Lin Yi hung up.
Everyone saw that Lin Yiâs connections had reached an unimaginable level.
âBrother, is it really done?â
Lin Yi nodded. âBut you still have to work hard in the future.â
âBrother, donât worry. Iâll definitely do my best,â Wang Jiajia said seriously.
âThatâs all I needed to hear.â
âLil Yi, youâve already made arrangements for your Jiajia. Shouldnât you also make arrangements for your brother, Zirui?â Sun Guilan probed.
âDoes he still need my help?â Lin Yi said, âMy company might fall under his control in the future. Iâm not that capable.â
Sun Guilan and Zhao Zirui were a little embarrassed.
His pretentiousness had totally backfired. Any hope of benefitting from Lin Yiâs connections was now ruined.
âBrother, what are you saying? I was just joking just now. How could I do this to you?â
âYouâre too humble. Iâll have to rely on you more in the future,â Lin Yi said as he lay on the bed. âOur companyâs accounts are at your mercy.â
Ring ring ring!
Zhao Ziruiâs phone rang at this moment.
âMy boss is calling.â Zhao Zirui said excitedly, âHe might have heard my name from the top dog and is now offering me a job as well.â
Lin Yi, â
This guy really had the guts to say anything that came to his mind.
âYouâre overthinking this,â Guo Ningyue said. âMy brother isnât that powerful.â
Guo Ningyue said this to leave Lin Yi a way out.
With so many relatives and friends watching, it would be embarrassing if nothing came of this call.
âJiajia is Jiajia, and Zirui is Zirui. They canât be compared at all,â Sun Guilan said.
âBesides, Lil Yi is so capable. If something nice isnât arrange for Zirui, wouldnât it disrespectful toward Lin Yi?â
Sun Guilin realized this point as she spoke, so she skilfully leveraged the trick of moral coercion.
âOpen it and show everyone how powerful your brother is.â
Lin Yi naturally saw through Sun Guilinâs little scheme, but he didnât pay any attention to it and simply lay on the bed to catch up on his sleep.
Zhao Zirui nodded and picked up the phone. He pretended to be calm despite not knowing anything.
âLittle Zhao, there are a few problems with the accounts you sent over before the new year. The higher-ups think that youâre not capable enough. When you come back to work on the eighth day of the new year, pack your things. Then, go to the finance department to collect your salary.â
Zhao Zirui was stunned. âWhat did you say? Have I been fired?â
âI donât think thatâs what is happening. I donât know what exactly happened. All I know is that you need to come on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year to pack your things.â
âHe had been fine a moment ago. Why was my son suddenly fired?â Sun Guilan said.
âWhy canât they be fired? These guys are all contract workers. Isnât such an occurence normal?â
With that, the call was hung up and the room fell silent.
Only then did they realize that Zhao Ziruiâs job wasnât as good as they had imagined.
He was also an ordinary contract worker and could be fired at any time. Sun Guilanâs family of three was so embarrassed that they couldnât raise their heads.
The last of their loincloths had been pulled off.
âLil Yi, whatâs wrong with you? Why did your brother get fired?â Sun Guilan asked.
âWhy are you asking me?â Lin Yi said.
âDidnât his boss say that there was a problem with the accounts? Do I have to spell this out to you?â
âYou must have said something,â Sun Guilan said hysterically.
âHe had been fine all this while.. Did you say something bad about Zirui?â
